Global pop juggernaut Bruno Mars will perform at Eden Park next year, returning to New Zealand after nearly 10 years.
The singer’s record-breaking The Romantic Tour will touch down in Auckland on March 13 after multiple Australian dates.
Fellow Grammy winners Tyla and Mars’ Silk Sonic bandmate Anderson .Paak (under the alias DJ Pee .Wee) will join the Grenade and Locked Out Of Heaven singer for the one-off Auckland show.
The concert is part of the Government’s $40 million one-off Events Attraction Package. It will be the first event next year under the new resource consent rules at Eden Park.
The rules, which took effect in April, allow up to 12 large concerts and 20 medium concerts without needing resource consent.
